Most of the more than 1,000 pastors in the Caribbean are bi-vocational, since congregations in economically depressed countries struggle to pay their pastors a living wage. Yet even with the wages pastors make through other means, it is often difficult for them to care for their families. When a devastating circumstance, such as illness or loss of income, occurs, it becomes almost impossible.

Your gift to the Caribbean Pastoral Support fund will help to provide temporary assistance to help provide for things like medical care or food for the family -- depending on the need, circumstances, and funds available.
